Who Killed Tom Fox? Why and What's the Reason For?

Out here on the radical fringe of Christianity, there are those of us who believe that there are worse things than being killed standing up for what you believe in. We feel that it’s better to honor our personal integrity, our relationship with the divine, than to play it safe.

Out here on the edge, there are those of us who believe that Jesus didn’t suffer just one time all those years ago up on a lonely cross. We feel that Jesus dies in every generation, whenever good folks stand up for righteousness. This Jesus perished in the Holocaust and in the collapse of the Twin Towers. This Jesus expired when Tom Fox was tortured and shot. This Jesus dies over and over until human kind gets that we have to learn to live together in peace and justice.

That’s why Tom Fox died. That’s the reason for.

My name it means nothing, my age it means less. My deeds of activism are mine to enjoy and share as I feel necesary, not as some clown in a small forum's administration thinks I must..This place gets worse each and every visit.

The Bush "Administrations" Failed Policies Helped Kill Tom F

Tom Fox probably died for the simple fact that he was an American. I guess it doesn't seem to matter that he was helping others, that he was doing it for the right reason. We have to blame the Bush "administation", the idiots who's failed policies still are able to decide the course we take, and the American people for buying the nonsense of these so-called neocons. Iraqs and Palestinians will gladly give up their lives for their beliefs. I don't believe it so much with our view of the world. Bush/cronies would have gladly taken our Social Security, as well as any other entitlement program, and given it away in continued tax breaks for the wealthy. I believe the government continues to commit crimes against the Constitution and its elective leaders should be impeached ASAP for the good of the nation. Goodbye Tom Fox, and Thank You.
